I guess the concept is happy -- the public urging for our world's policy makers to make cancer a top priority -- but the fact that becomes all too apparent on this World Cancer Day is quite sobering. More than seven million people die from cancer and close to 11 million new cases are diagnosed worldwide each year. In 2006, cancer killed more people than AIDS, malaria, and tuberculosis combined.

Saturday Six: support for cancer caregivers
|
|
In Family members and friends are cancer survivors too, I posted that although we acknowledge -- to a certain degree -- the care family members and friends lovingly and selflessly give to someone dear to them who has been diagnosed with cancer, perhaps as a community, we do not do enough to show our support or appreciation. Family members and friends won't ask for anything or ever complain about anything. They fear being visible might take away some benefit for their loved one in overcoming cancer or somehow make the cancer for their loved one worse.
